Bill Kristol Returns Fire at McCain Campaign on Fox News

Harsh words for the right-wing candidate from a right-wing pundit. This seems to be happening a lot these days.

Right-wing pundit Bill Kristol was attacked yesterday by the McCain campaign after declaring that John McCain is waging a "pathetic campaign" and should "fire" his staff. Spokesperson Nancy Pfotenhauer said Kristol had "bought into the Obama campaign's party line," while Tucker Bounds said, "I know Bill Kristol is an intelligent guy, I just don't think what he had to say was very intelligent." On Fox News, Kristol fired back:

Is John McCain the best messenger for his campaign? Why isn't he on this show? Why do we have Tucker Bounds and a bunch of nice young kids who are spokesmen out there spinning implausibly on behalf of the McCain campaign? McCain is better than his campaign.
